Please no. Canada’s problem is we already have three layers of conflicting and overlapping levels of government. Adding a fourth layer in the form of the EU’s bloated bureaucracy is a terrible idea.
We need less government and streamlined regulations. Not more.

Canada needs to learn how to be an independent nation. First Britain then the USA. How about we stand on our own two feet for a bit and then talk about what larger union we want to join

These people in support have no idea. We are already over taxed and over regulated and you want more taxes and more regulation?

I say do it and do it now. We’re aligned politically and ideologically, and it would make us wealthier from the free movement of goods and people. We’d also be the 4th largest member by GDP, possibly moving up to third if we surpass Italy, so we’d have some good sway in the bloc. We can do more and be more together than we every could apart.

The dumbest response to having our sovereignty threatened by America would be to hand it over to the bureaucrats in Brussels.
All of our efforts should just be focused on making Canada the great unique independent country it is.
We don’t need to be a part of anything outside of defence agreements and trade deals and we have those already.

Horrible idea. We are not a European nation. We need to be pursuing self sufficiency not trading one overlord for another.
Canada can be a superpower in its own right.

this is one of those things people think they want until it happens, because it sounds like a nice trade agreement with the classy sensible people in Europe instead of the barbarians in Florida. But people should read the EU website:
>The freedom to move to another ***EU*** country to ***work*** without a ***work permit*** is a right for ***EU*** nationals.
At a time when white collar work is facing global collapse from AI automation, EU membership means inviting millions of qualified competitors for job openings. the degree to which that is a 2-way street will ultimately depend on how much Dutch or German or French or Spanish you speak.
It means our currency and economy are tied to decisions being made in turkey or hungary, and are a result of the compromise between the internal needs of 27 different countries. In a slow-moving bureaucracy on the other side of the planet in a completely different time zone. It means trading the US for Germany as the big dog overshadowing us, at a time when they have far right-wing problems of their own and their gold reserves are still sitting in New York.
It means a lot of compromises on border movement and sovereignty standards that make geographical sense for people on the continent, but less for Canada’s current situation. Conservatives would make it their permanent goal to get the country out of it, it would create new major fault lines in Canadian society.
